Ebay is where I bought a few doors, the doors were not well made, large gaps between frame and door, nothing seemed to fit well, cheap hinge with sloppy play, I recieved some quotes from a door manufacturer and they wanted big $$ for them, too much for a flimsy door, maybe a decent, secure, good...

Thanks for the compliment, but I have to ask, where are you getting your doors?? Are they an RV door? What made me decide to go with a stronger door was thinking about leaving the rig parked some where and feeling good about leaving it, I definately dont feel good about my already installed and...

Around the door I am using 1/8" Al angle, it will be Sika'd to the door. I am using a stainless steel piano hinge. Al angles cut to size. Hole for the latch cut out, and dry fit. Looks like it might work. Next up is to sand down the rough side of the door and seal it up, let it set...

After a long hiatus I started working on the rig instead of using it, I was a little bummed out from losing alot of my pictures at the start of this thread, my own fault, I blame it on being computer illiterate. I have been searching for exterior access doors, and even bought some RV doors, but...

"Adjustable rebound" This is what a Fuso's suspension system needs to do, dampen the return rate on a bouncy truck, Brent please do let us know if the Rancho's work out, particularly for longevity.

You are not too far away from these guys http://www.sunviewindustries.ca/ they had better prices compared to Motion windows so it might be worthwhile getting a quote. As for your heater, I dont think its all that necassary for big BTU's, in my experience, a lower BTU on for a bit longer will...

Wow! lots of work being done here! Just thought I would comment on the vent issue, typically air will want to flow "out" of the camper through the roof vent, not in, are you installing a fantastic fan? if so one should do the trick for air flow, just make sure a source of make up air is present...

I have a Novacool also, and considered a chest fridge but found that the space needed would be too great and went with a conventional upright, even tho cold air dumps out of it, consider some cold air dams inside the fridge, like tuppaware containers to hold cold air. The most efficient fridge...

All I found was with a load index of 130 = 1900kg or4180 lb. 127 load index = 1750 kg or 3850 lb. enough??

Out of curiosity I looked up toyo MT tires, I think Bajaroad had the LT315/75R16 127Q load rating, which is around 4000 lb I think, also have a LT385/70R16 130Q over 37" in diameter and wide, like 15", would these work ? does anyone have a load weight for 127 and 130? They are both a 16" rim.

Besides compliance with the law, I think just the fact that tire ratings become a factor in what can be installed on a 16" rim, the reason most are now going to a 19.5" are to achieve single tire use instead of duellies with enough capacity for the load, and as we all know, rigs get loaded (or...

I have the space, I built up a box for all my batteries, 4 deep cycle and had one starter but did provide for the second battery, just was looking to eliminate one, I still could by using the "start " option on my battery separator, for now I just hooked all the batteries together until we get a...

That is what I noticed too, I found the speedo is corrected much closer to actual speed, the odometer is off a little, I cant remember what I had calculated it out by but not much, I like that you got a shot of the mph vs rpm, nice, I will have a look at what I get at 2800 rpm with a taller...

For those needing some info on using one starter battery, don't! Just got home from a 2 week vacation and while away the temps dropped down to -13'C (8'F) and my truck wouldn't start. Even after charging the battery fully, it would turn over but not have enough kick to start. So I am going to...

ive been through 1.2-1.3m flowing water quite a few times in 3 different canters, more or less 'unprepared'. never had any issues. they seem to love it. I havent even looked at my diffs or transfer case, but when you say" more or less" does that include raising the vents on these components...

If a conversion was done , where and how available is the fuel going to be? If everyone starts to run it will there be enough available?

Dont want to hijack this thread, but seems like my question would fit right in here,,, What needs to be done to an FG140 to be able to handle a water crossing, and what would be a good height to shoot for? If the mods like we can move this question to its own thread.

that should be no problem, Allterrain Warriors uses these on fibreglass roofs

Thats all looking good, the brushes that you are using are good for preventing most air transfer, but I have found that it doesnt prevent sound from entering, I recommend using some type of foam in addition to the brush to dampen the sound, I use a 1/4" foam strip on top of my brush seal.

This just seems obvious, but where is the family going to sit? Maybe you are needing a crew cab/extended cab type truck? or is your family only three people? To me it does seem a bit large for an expo truck, will it be a NA expo truck or do you plan on departing the North American continent?
